EVDO Day 3 in the City

I'm down in NYC today, and while the connection was very spotty on the way in, right now, stationary, it is pretty darn fast. Just for fun, I'm including a pic of some pings I've been sending to Google to test the latency:

I wonder if you were in a NationalAccess when you tested the pinging. These look like the slower NationalAccess. I usually see 180ms - 300ms when I do pings from BroadbandAccess.

Divide those pings by 8 and I might be interested.

Good lookin' out. Its perfect timing, because I've been seriously debating whether or not to make the EV-DO jump myself. I'm leaning towards it (although still need to see how the service is in MY area of Long Beach, CA)... but can't wait until you get around to testing it with online gaming. Haha, if you're taking any testing-suggestions (since this particular setup would be one of my "deal breakers"): if you have an Xbox and Halo 2, would you mind sharing your Powerbook's internet connection over to your Xbox and trying a few games of Halo over Xbox Live?

When we sent you the 7 day loaner, we were not expecting such detailed and awesome reporting/blogging. Keep up the good work.
